Xeno Crisis: a new game for Sega Genesis/ Mega Drive/ Dreamcast

The Bitmap Bureau studio in the UK will satisfy fans of the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis with a new platform game to leave a scar on the 30th anniversary of the console. The arena shooter game takes up to 2 players to play the game, which is inspired from Smash TV, Contra, Mercs, Granada, Alien Syndrome, Zombies Ate My Neighbours, Chaos Engine, and Shock Troopers. The idea of the game was to look, feel and sound like the old Mega Drive games of the '80s, but also add new elements as procedural map generation and randomization of game-play elements.

The game takes you to a forgotten cosmic colony and your objective is to save the surviving colonists and end the invasion. There are several modes and co-op for 2 players and the levels are generated randomly. Also, the small studio has good news for players who backed up the physical release. They announced that all backers of the physical release will also receive a copy of the ROM.

Xeno Crisis will be released in October 2018 as a digital download ROM and a cassette as a physical copy.
